* Nigerian immigrant Julius Ogbu, a unit assistant at Grand View Hospital in Sellersville, Pa. adds “Thanks to Star, I am doing what I love to do, and I am 100 percent dedicated to it."

* Long Island (NY) Chef Barrett Beyer, a Season 11 contestant on Hell’s Kitchen says, “Star helped me to learn how to work as a member of a team in the kitchen and also be creative as an individual. Today I can tell people that I am a chef and I have been places only few have been to in such a short period of time.”

Financial Assistance Programs Available

Financial aid programs offer a way to bridge the gap between what the student and family can provide and what it will cost to attend the school if you qualify.

You do not have to be from a low-income family to qualify for financial aid, but you do have to be a person with a “financial need.” Your need is the difference between what it costs to attend any of the technical schools, culinary schools, or medical training programs at Star Academy, and what you and your family can contribute.
